Cooling System Service

Roy Schmidt Honda of Effingham takes pride in assisting our customers to maximize their vehicle’s performance. A key component of maximizing your Honda car, truck, van, or SUV’s life is the cooling system.

The coolant reduces engine temperatures and protects parts from damage caused by heat. If your cooling system is not functioning properly, critical engine parts can fail. Engine parts that can fail due to poor cooling include gaskets and heads. Optimum performance is achieved through routine coolant flushes at regular maintenance intervals.
